I do believe that his problem might eb that the RPS login is extremelly finicky. Sometimes I have to press the login button 5 times, because the first four times when I get back to the topic it has me logged out already for some reason…

I gave it a shot. It’s definitely got all the trappings of a Need For Speed game – dumb cop that get progressively more daring and desperate as you wreck the city, oversimplified physics that urge you to go for thrills instead of technical prowess, and really nice production values.

It kinda boxes you in though, all the spoiled-ness that i’ve had with Forza 3’s ability to customize and fill a garage full of exotic cars makes this look like a demo… a demo that you can slowly unlock by buying things with ‘boost’, which costs money.

Problem is, as is, there’s not enough variety in the game to make me want to play it for more than say an hour a week. Worth keeping an eye on though, it seems like they could flesh it out eventually. But by then, being EA, you’ll probably have to shove some advertisements up your butt and give them your first two children to play for free.

yeah. Having a somewhat strained relationship with EA games I’ve given the NFS series the cold shoulder the last couple of years.. But hey, FREE is a powerful argument.

sign up, download and go…. Undefined error. Check out the ultraslow EA forums to find out that I need not waste time troubleshooting my end of the problem, as others where merrily posting screenshots of the same error.

As a beta participant in the bungled MotorcityOnline experiment some years ago, I thought EA at least understood the requirements of hosting a MMO racing game. Apparently EA has the short term memory to match its loyal customers.

Oh well.. As Willie Nelson wrote, nothing is worth nothing but its free. At least they still call it a beta.
